28x10 - Monkey Dance!

Post by bunniefuu »

This season
ofThe Amazing Race

has been like no other.


around the world...

Go!

...but for the first time ever,

the race was suspended.

The world is dealing
with the coronavirus.

The best choice is
to suspend the race.

After 19 months, seven teams
returned ready to race again.

Travel safe. Go!

Some teams tested their limits.

Oh, my God, I can't.

Others upheld their commitments.

We're dedicating
this entire journey

to all those who lost
loved ones because of COVID

-and to our grandmother,
of course, number one.
-Of course.

-She would be proud of us.
-Yeah, she would.

And three fell short.

Michael and Moe...

Akbar and Sheri...

Lulu and Lala, unfortunately,

you have been eliminated
from the race.

Now it all comes down
to these four teams.

Best friends Ryan and Dusty

had an important reason
to race...

Part of the reason that
I'm here-- I want to humanize

the wrongfully-convicted
individuals

who don't have a voice.

...and started
as the team to b*at.

Boom. You are team number one.

-Yes!
-Yes!

But a series of problems...

- We got to go
do the other thing, man.
- Yeah.

We are switching challenges.

-Okay.
-We're going under.

-We're going under.
We're going under.
-All right.

It was bad.

...had them scrambling
for a place

in the final four.

You are the last team to arrive.

The good news is
this is a non-elimination leg.

Mwah.

Raquel and Cayla
had their share

of mistakes and laughs.

- It's all over the thing.
- Oh.

But the flight attendants

never lost sight
of their mission.

We're all about us girls getting

-to the final three.
-Yes.

It's been a while
since there's been

an all-female team that won.

And are hitting their stride

when it matters most.

You are team number one.

We did it!

Internet personalities
Kim and Penn raced

with determination
and a sense of humor.

Activate nerd glasses.

But it was their love
and trust of each other...

You're such a badass!

I really wanted her
to come back up.

I think I was imagining my life
if she didn't.

I'm so freaking proud.

...that made them
the most consistent team

with four first-place finishes.

Superfans Arun and Natalia
saw their dream end early.

And you have been eliminated
from the race.

Ah, sucks. Disappointing.

But after returning
to the race...

-Welcome back.
-Oh, thank you, guys.

- Good seeing you guys.
- Thank you.

...the father and daughter
defied the odds...

Well, I'm pleased to tell you
this is a non-elimination leg.

Oh, thank you.

You are still in the race.

...and raced their way
into the final four.

There will be only one winner
on this race.

We're gonna turn things up,
Phil.

Coming up tonight,
one of these four teams

will win $1 million
andThe Amazing Race.

Lead the way.

Back on the plane.

All teams are now
taking a charter flight


from Thessaloníki, Greece,

to Portugal, the westernmost
country in Europe.

This majestic statue
of Jesus Christ

is an exact replica

of Christ the Redeemer,
which stands 5,000 miles away

in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

This is where teams will start
the penultimate leg

of the race--
Lisbon, the capital of Portugal.

"Route Info.

"Welcome to Portugal.
Drive yourselves

to Fortaleza de Saão Filipe
in the town of Setúbal."

Teams need to find

this 439-year-old fortress--
St. Filipe--

strategically built to protect
the coastline from invasion.

Teams must use this
spectacular vantage point

to spot their next clue,

hidden somewhere down there
in this ancient port city.

It's here that they'll find
their first Roadblock.

"Warning-- there are
two Roadblocks in this leg.

-Choose wisely." All right.
-All right, let's go.

So we're leaving in first place

by ourselves.

So we need to look

for the town of Setúbal.

We have two Roadblocks.

We got
to figure this out wisely.

Coming off of such a strong leg,

obviously, like, boosts
our confidence a little bit.

There's a lot at stake today.

Yeah, there's a lot
at stake today.

We just want to make it to
that final, and all bets are off

this leg.

The sign pointed
to Almada down here, so...

-Yeah, this is wrong.
-That's not right, babe.

That's sketch.

-I don't know. I mean...
-Okay, well, we can go--
we can retrace.

Go.

"Welcome to Portugal."

"Warning-- there are two
Roadblocks in this leg.

-Choose wisely." Let's go.
-Go.

Let's go this way.

Let's go.

Lisbon, Portugal.

We're leaving in group two,

and Dusty and Ryan
are behind us,

which is nice
'cause we're used to being

in the last group.

We've been underdogs
from the time

we came back
after being eliminated.

We've had second chances,

and this might be our final,
so we got to fight hard today.

People don't get chances
like how we have,

and for us to just be

one leg of it
to making it to the finals,

we cannot make any mistakes.

There's no room for error.

As superfans,
we want to go through

and run every single leg
of the race.

And so that's what
we want to do.

It's just so exciting.

You want to just go for it

-and not ask for directions?
-Yeah. Yeah.

Okay, let's just give it a go.

This is the most stressful day

in The Amazing Race,

where you just want to get
to the final three,

and your chances are lower than
they've ever been to survive.

There are only four teams left.

So margin of error--
like, we just can't

make mistakes today.

-Setúbal. We need to go there.
-Which-which way?

Blue signs. In the middle.

-Stay in the middle.
-Awesome.

This day's starting off decent.

We came back to this race
to show our kids

that we finish what we started.

We want to make it
to the finish line.

And not as, like, those people
who are like,

-"Oh, yeah, yeah, really..."
-No, we want to be running

across the finish line.

"Warning-- there are
two Roadblocks in this leg.

Choose wisely."
Ooh, here we go.

-Two Roadblocks. Let's do it.
-Let's get it, baby!

Starting in fourth place.

Fourth place is last place.

We don't like it,
but we're still here.

All right.

The last leg,
I hit rock bottom per se, but

the bad luck has run out,
in my opinion.

-"Setbal." Setbal?
-Yeah.

-Setúbal? Is that it?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. Follow that.

-Setúbal. A2. A2.
-Follow that.

Adversity really brings out
character in people, and, uh,

I would not want us
behind you hunting you down.

We will find one of these lambs
in front of us,

and we will feast.

We will be in the finals,
no question asked.

It's very tricky
finding the fort.

Do you know where the, um,
Fortaleza de Saão...?

-Fortaleza de Saão Filipe.
-Yeah.

-You go up to...
-So, we hit the roundabout

and go left?

We're not going south.
We might be going the wrong way.

-This says "A12."
-See, yeah, this isn't right.

We need to turn around.

Oh, my God,
is that Arun and Natalia?

That is Arun and Natalia.

So we just saw Arun and Natalia.

I don't know... how!

Are you kidding me?

- Let's rock it.
- Here. Top of the fort.

-Top of the fort.
-Yup.

-Here. Okay.
-Here. Look at the flag, honey.

Okay. Uh, up top.

"Take in the view!"

And "Look
for your next destination."

Okay, I see a big red flag.

Where? Oh, yeah,
down by the port?

-Um, if we can get down?
-Uh-huh.

-Right along the beach.
-Okay, yeah.

Just get to the water.

So if we go
into those yellow buildings,

-we've gone too far.
-Okay.

Color-blind Penn found the flag.

- Head to the water.
- Look for those white buildings.

Drive straight on.

-Drive straight on?
-Drive straight on. Okay.

-You are almost there,
almost there.
-Almost there. Okay.

Fortaleza de Filipe left.

- I think I see it.
- Oh, that's Kim and Penn.

-They're leaving already.
-Okay.

-Was that Raquel and Cayla?
-Yeah.

Huh.

- Search the top of the fort.
- Yup.

- "Take in the view!
- Look for your next destination."

Take in the view.

All right, here we go. Up.

- Is it that flag?
- I mean, that could be it.

- "Take in the view."
- Look, I think you're right.

- I think that's it.
- Hey, boys.

Let's go!

- That's it, that's it.
- On the dock.

It's red and
yellow stripe. That's it.

- That's 100% it.
- Yeah.

Good eye.
-Let's go, guys. Yeah.
Hell yeah.

- They're there.
- It's right there. Yes.

I just want to make sure
I know how to get there.

-There's a golfing thing.
-Okay, guys, come on.

Guys, come on.

Dad, we don't have time
to waste now.

- Come on.
- All right, let's go.

That was great spotting, man.

All right, let's get down...
down to that main road

-that we were on and head
straight to the water.
-Yeah.

- So it's literally
just straight ahead.
- Yes.

To the right, yeah.

- You see right there?
- The port right there?

-The flag?
-We just go down by the water

to the fishing harbor.

We're going south. Oh.

Ryan and I, the lions,
went hunting,

and we made a k*ll

with Raquel and Cayla behind us,
but now

we are hunting for the main
prize-- the Cape buffalo.

Penn and Kim, we are coming
for blood in first place.

Gobble, gobble.

-This feels right.
-Yeah, 'cause remember I said

that it's, like, right by
those white buildings.

-Are these the white buildings?
-And these are

the yellow buildings?
So, let's take a right?

Let's just hug the water.

Let's go up a little bit
and then, like...

- We're hugging the water.
- Yeah.

-See a flag!
-Yay!

-Did you see it? Okay.
-Yes.

Uh, I see oceanfront
straight ahead.

Do we want
to keep going straight, Ryan?

-Turn right.
-Okay.

-'Cause there's-- oh...
-There's another marker
right here.

They're going right.
Okay, my bad.

Yeah, I didn't
see that over there.

When you're high up,

it's easy to spot that flag.

When you're down low,
it's a little bit harder.

Just do a U-ie.

I mean, I can't just do
a U-ie here, bro.

Yeah, all right, all right.

The water's to your right,
to your right.

- The flag is to the right.
- Yeah.

I can turn right, yeah.

Let's go!
Let's continue our adventure!

-Okay. What do we get here?
-Oh, a clue.

"Roadblock.
Who wants to go exploring?"

These boats are named after

some of this country's
most famous explorers,

along with the names
of some modern-day celebrities.

Question is,
can teams figure out who's who?

They must choose a boat
with the name of an explorer

and then row it
to the other side of the marina.

If they have chosen correctly,

a fisherman will hand them
a clue.

I'd love to go exploring.

-Would you really?
-Yes.

Good luck, baby.

Raquel, let's go.

I see it, I see it, I see it,
I see it, I see it.

"Who wants to go exploring?"

-I should do it.
-Okay.

I figured it would be something

a little bit more
on the physical side,

so it was definitely best

that she did

the Roadblock first.

I'm pretty sure I trust myself.

"Choose a rowboat named for
a famous Portuguese explorer."

We had to go to a specific dock,

find a rowboat named after
a famous Portuguese explorer,

and I didn't recognize

most of the names.

I got into a boat, and

I didn't even really know
the-the name on the end of it.

Okay.

I took a chance,
and I took a guess.

I'm gonna try this.

I had a moment of panic
because if

I was wrong, I was gonna have
to row it back.

Never...
Row, row, row your boat.

I'm gonna go out backwards.

I think
I'm facing the wrong direction.

That's the way
I should have done.

Think I'm doing it wrong!

- Okay. Yeah.
Got the keys?
Got the keys?

Dad! Dad!

-"Who wants to go exploring?"
-Okay, I'll do it.

There's gonna be two Roadblocks,
and I said, "As long as

it's not singing and dancing."

And the other one
could have been, so...

So, I'll... I'll take it.

How do I know what the name
of the explorer is?

I'm looking for the explorer,

making sure
I got the right boat.

I have to get on the boat
and then look.

No, no.

"Cristiano Ronaldo" is not.

I read, like,
three of the boats,

and one was a soccer player,

so I definitely knew
it wasn't him, and then...

Cristiano Ronaldo?

-Uh, yeah, it was. Yeah, yeah.
-It was?!

I would've gone on that boat.

"Bartolomeu Dias."

Pretty sure that's the name
of an explorer.

I saw "Bartolomeu Dias,"
and I was like,

"Oh, I know more than I think."

Oh, my God.

Ugh! Cayla?

You're doing
a great job, Raquel.

Clearly, I don't have

rowing experience.
Did you see me?

I would have been better
paddling with my hands.

I was awful.

This is hard.

Ooh!

I can't let Natalia down.

I can't let myself down.

Should have asked
before I got on the water

what...
who were famous explorers.

Hello, sir.

Is this, by any chance,

a famous Portuguese explorer?

Give her a clue.
Give her a clue.

- Uh, good.
- It is?

Yes!

Bless you. Thank you.

I picked the prettiest boat.

Lucky guess.

Route Info.

"Make your way on foot
to Mercearia Confiança..."

Let's go.

There's another team coming now.

Dusty and Ryan showed up
after us.

Yeah, we-we weren't last.

-Damn. We're last?
-Don't know.

"Who wants to go exploring?"

You got it?

When we saw rowing,
it was kind of a no-brainer.

My guy can row three boats

in the time a person can do one.

His upper body is built to row.

I got all the faith
in the world in Ryan.

He's gonna get this done.

I'm gonna take this.

You had to go look at the boats,

and since
everybody were taking off,

I chose one
which sounded Portuguese.

António Guterres sounded

like Portuguese,
so I just selected that name

because I don't know anything
about Portuguese history.

Oh, I've never rown a boat.

But with every... There's always
a first time for everything.

You got this, Dad.

Okay, patience, Arun.

Patience. Patience! Patience.

I have no idea what he's doing.

I've never done this before.

When I was rowing, like,

it's kind of like
my stick shift driving.

It's not pretty,
but I get it done.

I'm here, I'm here.

That's great. Thank you.

-Uh, good.
-Thank you.

Thank you so much.

-Yes!
-Oh.

-Yes!
-I'm glad I studied in school.

That was the only one
I was sure of.

"Make your way on foot

to Mercearia Confiança de..."

-All right, come on. Let's go.
-Yeah.

I'm not too sure
how to row this boat.

Sometimes I had it this way,
that way. I was going...

Instead of going front, I was
going back, so I'm just going

in circles.
I-I mean, I really sucked.

Yeah, I don't think
rowing is my dad's thing.

Just go for it.

I just assumed I didn't know
any of the explorers.

So I was like, "You know what?

I can bang this out."

So I'm just gonna start going.

Fortunately, one was
Cristiano Ronaldo,

which I was pretty sure wasn't
a famous explorer.

Dad, you got this!

It's good a guess as any, and
I don't know anybody out here

that can help us out. All right.

Oh. Wrong way.

I just hope he can get it done,

stay cool, calm, collected
and get us out of this.

Sending my good vibes
out to him right now.

I'm struggling with myself.

That's the worst part is, like,
you're here, and you can't even

-help your partner.
-Sweating away.

Are you freaking kidding me?

I should have done this.

Dad, just stay calm!

I think I am not doing it both
for... at the same time.

He is struggling right now.

He has not left the location
he started in.

But, you know, he's not
a quitter, so he's gonna

pound through this.

Come on, Ryan.
You're good, baby.

Seeing Arun spin around
like a top

when you're a leg away
from a million dollars--

I was hoping the drain
was gonna keep on running

and suck him on down.

- We're good.
- Come on, baby.

-No good.
-No good? All right, thank you.

Unfortunately, got a bad...
bad pick.

Wrong boat.

Excuse me, sir,
do you speak a little English?

We're looking for Mercearia
Confiança de Troino.

-700 meters?
-Yeah.

-Thank you, sir.
Really appreciate it.
-Thank you.

Okay, what are we looking for?

Sir, we're looking
for this place.

This way and to the left?

I think it's just
straight ahead.

Ryan got the wrong boat.

Oh. There. Vasco da Gama?

I think that's correct.
I found the right boat.

I have to get that.
The right explorer.

I don't know anything
about Portuguese history

other than Vasco da Gama.

The Portuguese explorer
came to India, so

I absolutely knew who he was.

I had to put the boat
back into the dock

before I could go
and get the other boat.

Thank you, sir. All right.

Dumb luck try number two.

Oh, man, I didn't see this one.

Oh, God! They took my boat.

Vasco da Gama.

This is an explorer.
I should have taken my time

and looked at all of them first.

You took my boat!

We good now.

We good now, baby.

We good now.

- We're here.
- This is it.

Nice. That worked out well.

- Okay.
- "Choose a sardine can

from the marked stand
outside the store."

They say that canned fish
is perhaps the oldest

and healthiest fast food
in the world.

And here in Portugal,

they produce more than 250
million cans of it every year.

Locals regard
the old canned designs

as prized pieces of artwork,

something you'll see
on full display

in the fishing city of Setúbal.

After choosing one
of these sardine cans,

teams must replicate it
by painting it on a door.

Which one do you want to do?

Um, uh, you're the artist.

- You want to do the mermaid?
- Okay. Yeah, let's do it.

We're gonna get this.

We got to go to this place--

"Rua Vasco da Gama."

But we're gonna have
to take that can of sardines

and basically replicate it
on a wooden door.

There it is. So we just have
to paint it in. Beautiful.

All right, we paint black here.

How about I do, uh,
just the purple?

You do the purple,
and I'll do the black?

-Yeah.
-Okay.

-Use a smaller brush
maybe, baby?
-I will.

You're doing awesome.

Vasco da Gama, baby.

You got my boat!

Ooh.

Oh, I hope this one's right.

It's good.

- Ah.
- Boy!

"Make your way on foot to
Mercearia Confiança de Troino."

Sir, could I ask you a favor?

Ryan, it looks like
he's making a little ground now.

Okay, he's moving a little bit.

All right, he's making progress.

I see Arun. He's pulling around,

so they're not
too far behind us.

There you go, there you go.

Finally, I was able
to get the rhythm,

so that's...
this is how it works.

You were picking up speed
after a while. I was like,

-"Okay, Dad has a rhythm."
-I picked up some.

k*lling it! k*lling it!

-I think we picked a hard one.
-Yeah, we did, honey.

I am shorter, so I'm handling
everything on the bottom here.

Thank you, baby.
I love you for that.

Oh, right there.

"Choose a sardine can
from the marked stand."

Which one looks the easiest?

-This one.
-Okay. I mean,
I like those colors.

We chose the sardine can
'cause it just seemed like

there wasn't as many, like,

fine lines and small details.

Here we go. This is it.

There's only three colors
on here.

There's, like, five on that.
Little fish.

This is a good call.

So, let's hold this
right under here.

So I'll start
with a yellow for this.

I feel like I'm crafty enough.
Okay, so this is yellow.



Nice and easy.

All right, buddy,
take your time.

-Take your time.
-Yeah, dude, for sure.

You're making it! You're moving!

Hopefully,
he has the right boat.

Got it. This is the boat?

No good.

It's not the right explorer.

God! Have to do this again.

I should have done
this Roadblock.

Learning to be positive.

I can't let Natalia down,

so now I have
to figure out something else.

Where is everybody else?

They're right next to us.

When your hands are shaking

and there's a race on the line,
and there's people showing up,

it's bizarrely hard to do this.

We're just focusing
on our own work.

I'm hoping this is where
we can make up some time,

'cause we see them,
we are all together,

so we just need
to get it done quickly.

Painting sardines on a door. I
am super artistic. I love this.

This is right up my alley.

I love art, and I grew up
in art classes.

I enjoyed it. It's something,
you know, down the road, man,

I hope my kid wants
to get art sets,

and we can splash paint around
everywhere.

- He was just painting it in.
- I mean,

he was getting it done.

Just nice and easy, baby.

We're not too far behind
right now,

and he looks like
he's making moves right now.

The last name seemed like
it's Portugal.

I'm not good
with Portuguese history.

Honestly, there's no logic
behind it.

At that time,

I was just desperate because
everybody had already left.

I really hope this is the one.
I really hope it's right.

I don't think you have
to be too accurate.

Just speed ahead of accuracy.

I don't know how accurate
I was being at first.

I was like,
"Let's just get this done.

This is a lot of paint."

We're gonna have to do green.

I'm doing
the big chunks of green.

I still have to go back over
and, like, fine-tune it.

We're leaving on first try,
I'm telling you.

- I'm just plugging away, dude.
- Yeah.

I think we're close.

That looks amazing.

Uh, check?

Hi.

-Okay.
-Okay.

Any, uh... any advice?

Not yet. Okay.

Hoping that this is
the right boat this time.

It's gonna be a struggle

watching him coming back,
doing that again.

Please say yes.
Please say yes.

- Oh, thank God.
- Yeah! Good job!

-Thank God.
-Thank God.

You stuck it through,
didn't give up.

Good job.

"Paint a sardine can label
on a door." Okay.

I hate sardines.

I would rather be painting
a sardine can

than eating
a can full of sardines.

We're ready for a check.

Raquel and Cayla
are getting checked.

- Yeah? No? Yeah?
- I don't know. I don't know.

Wait a minute, that was "yeah"?

-I'm sorry. Miss?
-No, that was a no.

-That was a no?
-That was a no.

Here's where we need
your ADHD superpowers, Penn.

I'm trying. I'm... I...

Oh, the-the middle of the "D"
should be black,

and the middle of the "A"
should be black.

That's what we needed right
there. She got it. That was it.

-It looks freaking awesome.
-Yeah, let's check it.

Check, please.

Not yet.

Aah!

Really?

Do we have the same picture?

I think she's enjoying this.

I hear panic over there.

-You're doing good, dude.
-All right.

-Oh, my God, right here.
-Oh, my God.

We missed one leg
of the octopus.

- It was a very easy fix.
- Very easy fix.

And I noticed that Kim and Penn
had gotten their door checked,

I mean, since we were there,

and they weren't getting it.

-Okay, should I ask for a check?
-Yes, yeah.

Yeah! Yes! Yes, baby, yes!

- Boo!
- The girls got it.

Raquel and Cayla got it.

-Thank you.
-Okay, ready?

Teams must now drive themselves

to Santuário do Cabo Espichel

where they'll find
their next clue.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

It's something specific like
"Oh, duh" that we're missing.

We're gonna lose The Amazing
Race'cause we can't paint.

Is there black in the "F"?

-Yeah.
-Yup, right here.

That's the one. That's the one.

-Okay.
-She's looking for that.

- Yup.
- Call her.

Third time's the charm.

You know I love you, Mayor.
Thank you so much.

Thank God you can paint.

Uh, Arun and Natalia--

this is crazy
they're not here yet.

We got, uh, Kim and Penn gone,

Raquel and Cayla gone, but

we're coo... we're Gucci, man.

We just need to finish
in the top three.

-You know what I'm saying?
-Yeah, that's it.

This is the marked stand.

-Is this it?
-Yeah, this is it.

The man is more intricate.

This is the sardine can
we chose.

Now we're gonna have
to recreate it.

Here they come.

No rush. We don't need to panic.

We saw Arun and Natalia show up.

So, hats off, good for them.
They finally made it.

There it is. Correct?
That's the one?

Yeah. Okay.

We were not

expecting to see any teams

after we grabbed our sardine can
and went to the doors.

And we're like,
"They're still here. Okay, maybe

we can pass Dusty and Ryan."

-Maybe we can make up time.
-Okay.

-Should we get directions?
-I think we should get the map.

Okay, so let's go back
to the car?

Let's get the map.
Let's get the map, okay?

Map isn't here, babe.

It's fine.

-Well, that's not fine.
We need a map.
-I know, but let's not...

-Let's not look around all day.
-I know. I know.

Can you get around
without a map, though,

-if we're going far away?
-I can... I can try.

-I think we need a map.
-I think...

What do you mean,
you lost the map?

-Oh, here we go.
-We need the map.
You need the map.

I just think
we need to get a map.

We need to have the map.
Babe, we need the map.

I was definitely irritated

because I felt as though,
as a navigator,

that's, like, the one thing
you can't lose.

This is how we go out.

'Cause I lost the freaking map.

I don't know.
I really don't know.

A little bit of green in here.
I'm gonna cut in.

And I think we're good.

Yeah?

-Did they get it?
-That's okay, Nat.

Let's concentrate on us.

- Not yet?
- Not yet?

- Not yet? Okay. We're cool.
- Sorry.

Oh, boy.

We're just gonna go
slow and steady.

Make sure we don't make
any mistakes the first time.

All right, so we need

to be looking for N10,
and we're going west.

Yup, we're going the right way.

I'm a huge fan of maps.

This feels like a race
to the finish line today, man.

You have another Roadblock,
honey.

I know.
I could totally screw it up.

-I'm capable of that.
-Yup.

But I will not.

Okay, let's not
b*at ourselves up.

It is what it is. We'll just
try to find another map.

So there's the gas station.
Gas station.

So hopefully, we can buy
a map in here, okay?

- This is what I need, right?
- Yep.

- This is all good.
- Okay.

Okay.
Do we feel good about that?

Yes.

Okay.

Probably got a little
cleaning up to do here.

You know, it's like, fill in
the-the lines, but sometimes

you don't know
if those lines are, like,

in or out, you know? So...

We're probably, like,


Dusty and Ryan are still here.

I'm not sure
what they're doing wrong.

I would like to think

that we're gaining ground
on them.

-Okay...
-Yes, it is. I see it. Okay.

Red, green, white, red.

- That's good.
- All good, brother.

Mayor?

Not yet.

We have the white dot there.
The white dot there.

-I have to do all
the white lines, correct?
-Yeah. Yup.

- Mayor?
- Still a no.

- Mayor?
- I'm sorry, still a no.

We just got to stay calm,
just keep going.

Still a no.

Not yet.

Still a no.

Still a no. I'm sorry.

Dude, I have no idea.

I don't even know, bro.

Seriously, is there
something big we're missing?

I don't want to say
I was gonna lose it,

but it was just
to the point where I was like,

"Man, if this is what's gonna
take us out..."

We were not happy.

Being in the championship leg

is more important
to me than anything.

Arun and Natalia are still
behind us, so I'm like,

"All right, I have to bust
my tail and get this done."

May be time to go.

It's been a hell of a run.

This is nuts, dude.

We're making progress.

We are about 80% so far.

When we looked over

and we saw Ryan and Dusty
were still there, we thought

maybe Ryan and Dusty were making
some major mistake.

They kept checking.

Maybe it's glaring. I doubt it.

We're gonna try until the sun
sets, if that's what it takes.

This is purty.

Oh, that's beautiful.

There's a white lighthouse

right on the coast there.

Cabo Espichel. Beautiful.

-Let's go. Bye, car.
-Okay, hold on.

- Wow.
- Oh, my gosh.

This is gorgeous.

Roadblock.

"Who has to do this Roadblock?"
Me.

In 1410,
two old fishermen claimed

that they saw the Virgin Mary

rise up out of the ocean
on a mule.

And worshippers have been
gathering here...

ever since.

This church,

the Sanctuary
of the Lady of the Cape,

is famous for the 106 columns...

...lining its courtyard.

Teams must count
these 106 columns

while standing
in a designated space.

When they give the correct count
to the monk,

he'll point them
to the next Pit Stop--

this 231-year-old lighthouse
at Cape Espichel.

"Count all the columns
on each side.

You must stay
within the stone boundaries."

I can't see
all the way down there.

There's a big,

beautiful church
and then, off to the side,

are two very long wings.

It was at least
a couple of hundred feet.

And as I'm walking toward it,
it says,

you have to stay
within one stone boundary.

It's quite small,
and it's a long way

away from large portions
of this church.

Two wings of the church, okay.

- 42 is there.
- I'm trying
to be very quiet.

But they all look alike.

You have to stay
in a certain area.

How do you even see
what's a column and what's not?

It looks impossible.

Kim and I both have
pretty bad vision.

Evolutionarily, we would have
been eaten by tigers by now.

I'm pretty good at counting.

I just can't see that far!

All right.

You know what?

Let's just go down and see.

You had to run about a quarter
of a mile to a monk,

and if you got it wrong,
you couldn't just keep guessing.

You had to turn around
and then go back.

I thought I counted 112.

No.

Okay.

All right, here we go.

I mean, the eyeball is
kind of fixed now. Mayor?

So...

Trying to figure out
what could possibly be wrong.

Looks like Dusty and Ryan
are still here.

Like, it's got to be something

bigger, and when you stop
and you just

process and breathe and don't
get caught up in that moment,

that's when really
the answers come to you.

You know what?

God, if this is it,
I'm gonna be so pissed.

We missed the doorknob.

Um, Ryan found it.
I'm a moron.

You sneaky little doorknob!
Damn, dude.

That's got to be it.

-Yes. Thank you.
-Oh, thank you so much.

- All right.
- That was tricky.

Ryan and Dusty just left,
so that puts us

in last place.

When we started, we were
very focused on accuracy.

When they left, we're like,
"Okay, we need to pick it up."

Speed became
a little bit higher, and so,

it was really just keeping
that good balance

of both speed and accuracy.

We can pound this out.
We're-we're confident.

I think I'm close. I'm just...

I got to remember what I guessed

so I don't guess
the same thing twice.

I've got to find a way
to hold still

'cause they're so far away.

There weren't columns,
there weren't arches.

There were shadows and blurs.

I realized this is
a vision test. I will fail it.

So I thought, I'm gonna get
as close as I can,

and then I'm gonna turn this
into a running challenge.

So this just turned
into a marathon.

Yeah, there's, like,
small fine lines in the detail

that we have to make sure
we're not missing.

Mayor?

-Oh, thank you.
-Oh, thank you.

Thank you so much.

Let's go.

This is a very stressful day.
There's just a lot at stake.

- "Sesimbra."
- Nine kilometers, it's says.

"Albona"? "Almada"?

"Sesimbra." Follow that one.
Follow that one.

Oh, yeah.

Okay.

-That's everything, right?
-It's fine, yeah, just let's go.

-Okay, this is for you.
-Okay.

"Count the columns
of the two wings of the church.

You must stay
within the stone boundaries"?

Obviously,
as they get further away,

it is hard to count.

Hey.

The further down you go,

it's very easy to, like,
count them twice.

So, I was just like,
"Okay, well, I'm just gonna

take it chunk by chunk."

So I counted, like,


Then I know that's 60.

Yeah? Yeah?

The lighthouse?

So I got to go get
Raquel, right?

I'm blind as a bat,
so that's fun.

I got it.

Yes!

Got to go up and down
and up and down.

The lighthouse is that way.

I mean, it looked like
there was a path down that way.

I think you're right.
Hey, I'm so proud of you.

I felt, like, really bad
when I lost the map,

so that was my redemption.

Am I doing something wrong?

I was really bummed
'cause I knew at that minute,

we had just lost,
but I just kept telling myself,

"Top three today, top three."

But then I realized I think
I'm making up some columns.

So I started counting,

and I give myself
a little stopping point.

That's 20. Then I get to 40,

I think that's gonna be 40,
I stop it right there.

So I thought, "Okay, I'm gonna
count it three times

and see what happens.

Lighthouse?

I'm so proud of you.
That was impossible.

-Honey.
-I can't see that far.

I know!

We're going to the lighthouse.

He just said... just pointed
to the lighthouse.

So it looked like there was
a path back there. Nowhere.

This looks like a path,
does it not?

I don't know. Hmm.

I don't know.
I don't want to get

in the damn woods somewhere.

- How do we get there?
- I don't know.

-N379. Where's it going?
-Yeah.

-To what? Do you know?
-Sesimbra.

We know for sure
we are in last position now.

We still have
another Roadblock coming up,

and people could have
a hard time.

We are not giving up.

Let's go.

What am I about
to get myself into here?

"Count the columns of
the two wings of the church."

Between the marked arches.

I start counting, and one side
you can see pretty well

'cause the light's shining
on the columns.

The other side just turns
into a blur.

And at 37, going on 38,

my vision isn't quite
what it used to be.

Wow. This is insane.

Think this is the path?

Should we just go down,
just go for it?

It was right over here.

-Going the right way?
-Yeah.

There's Raquel and Cayla.

Let's try to cut 'em off.
That'll be fun.

Where are they behind us?

I want to be on the mat first.
It's gonna piss me off.

Here we go.
This is it, baby.

We're gonna do it.

Aha.

Do you see 'em?

Let's rock it.

Yes!

-What a leg, huh?
-Yes.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

Raquel and Cayla,
you are team number one.

You are one of the three teams
that will be racing

to the finish line
for the $1 million prize.

Yes!

As the winners of this leg
of the race, you have won

a trip for two from Travelocity,

and you are going to the
beautiful island of St. Lucia.

Oh, yeah!

You're going to stay
five nights with views

of the Piton volcanoes
at Jade Mountain Resort.

You're going to enjoy
a private sunset cruise,

a visit to the Sulphur Springs
and Botanical Gardens,

and indulge in a tasting

of locally-made
artisan chocolate.

Yes!

We haven't had an all-female
team win the race for a while.

Only three teams in history.
Will you be the fourth?

Yes, Phil, we will be the fourth
all-female team

to win The Amazing Race.

Final three, baby.

The last two legs,
we've won first place,

and we're just getting momentum.

It's like we're starting
to really find our strengths.

-I'm ready.
-You ready for the final?

Yeah, I'm like,
"Can we just do it right now?"

I know, I'd rather
just continue right now.

-Can I go off of this high?
-Yeah.

This is literally like a dream,

-and it just...
-God, it feels good.

Yeah, I have no words
for it right now.

I can't believe that we're here.

-Oh!
-Crazy, long journey.

Oh, I love you.
I'm so proud of you!

Yes!

Kim and Penn.

-Ugh!
-All right.

I am pleased to tell you
that you are team number two.

-Yes! Oh!
-You are one

of the three teams that will
be racing to the finish line...

-Oh, my God.
-...for the $1 million prize.

We did the best we could,
and now we're racing

for a million dollars,
which is amazing!

I'm just, like, relief, happy.

We have the most wins.

We probably have
the best average finish.

We have to be considered

-a real thr*at to win.
-When we are at our best,

we're pretty amazing.

Just keep going straight
on this.

Natalia is going to k*ll the
Roadblock which is coming up.

You never know. Like,
the crazy things have happened.

Dusty and Ryan struggled last
time, so maybe they struggled...

they're gonna struggle on
whatever the next challenge is.

"Count the columns
of the two wings."

Two, three...

Oh, buddy.

Got to get it.



All right, got to try again.

I get down to the end,
it's really hard

to see what's down there.

And it's probably gonna be
more difficult.

I wouldn't say
I'm very comfortable.

I'm never very comfortable.

You can get mixed up
pretty easily, I think.

This could take quite a while.

All right, let's try this again.

You got it, man!

Uh, my vision is terrible.

So, we're gonna find out
if this is it.



Oh, boy. Oh, my God.

Having a little trouble here.

Almost there.
Just keep going straight.

We think we see it.
It's up in eyesight.

You got to get it eventually.

Keep rocking.

All right, I'm gonna try again.
I think I got it.

Maybe I don't.

I get down to the end.
It's really hard

to see what's down there.
I'm gonna try.

Oh, thank you.

To the lighthouse, okay.

Yeah! Yeah!

-All good, baby.
-Did you get...

-Did you get it?
-Go to the lighthouse!

He's at the lighthouse.
This is it, baby.

Good job, man.

- Hey!
- What's up, Phil?

All right, Ryan and Dusty,
hard work has paid off.

You are one of the three teams
that will be

-racing to the finish line...
-Yeah, baby!

- ...for $1 million.
- Congratulations.

Nobody wants to run with
you guys to the finish line.

If we can keep 'em
in our sights,

we know an opportunity's
gonna be had

where the two tigers
can run down the antelopes,

eat them on the way, and, uh...

This is gonna be savage,
this next leg. I know it.

We got to just come out, work
together, believe in each other,

and I 100% believe
that if we do that,

-we will win.
-We came to drink beers

and kick ass, and the cooler's
empty. They better look out.

Columns.

I'm absolutely proud
of Natalia and me.

Whenever our backs

was against the wall,
we-we came forward

and did the best, so I'm proud
of what we have accomplished.

Thank you.

That-that? Okay.

Dad, let's go!

Headed to the lighthouse.

Yup, go ahead.

Oh.

We know, Phil.

I'm very sorry to tell you,
Arun and Natalia,

that you have been eliminated
from the race.

-Yeah. It's a good job, Natalia.
-Good job.

Proud of you.
Very proud of Natalia.

I'm very proud of
both of you, as well.

I mean, I-I think you showed
a tremendous amount of courage.

Last time
when we were here in leg three,

I was crying my eyeballs off.

- But this time,
I'm laughing, at least.
- Yeah.

We're grateful
that we were able to come back.

And just to spend these times
and work together--

like, we don't do that
in the normal world.

We're-we're...
we're separate lives now, and...

It's been really good
to get closer to Nat,

and as she moves on
with her married life, uh...

It's-it's been
a good... a good journey.

We really wanted
to immerse ourselves

and experience the race,
and this time, coming back,

we were able to do that,
and that's a superfan's dream.

We're gonna continue to grow and
to have different experiences,

and this is one
we'll just never forget.

It's the finale,

and we are so ready

to hit that finish line.

We are very competitive.

-I can do this all day long.
-Hey!

We can't believe we're here.
We're so excited.

Dusty and Ryan and Kim and Penn

have always been
two of the best teams, and

I think we've had more mishaps
along the way.

I don't want to get,
like, ahead of myself, but

I think we're doing really well.

-Ooh, we're five.
-I thought

we were doing better than that.

I think

it's a true testament
to our ability to kind of just

see things and grow
from some of our weaker points.

We've learned a lot,

and we're ready
to run with the best of 'em.

We get to start
with everybody else today.

We've started with a
disadvantage the last few legs.

So I think they're going
to be a little bit nervous

about us starting
right there with them.

Yes!

I'm a lunatic.

I run on emotion.

Ryan here

is even-keeled.

Take a breather.

-I just don't know
where to start, dude.
-Just enjoy this.

We just balance each other out.

Coming into this, I really felt

like this was
a young person's race,

and there's been a few times
we've felt our age.

Mama's gonna need some Advil.

We would be the oldest team
to cross the finish line first,

and that's motivating me
as well.

Like, moms and dads,

you can still do amazing things
and bungee jump

off of crazy dams.

Oh, my God, she did it. Kim!

We could potentially be
the fourth all-female team

to win The Amazing Race.

That is lighting such a fire
underneath us.

Good job.

I think today, to win, uh,

believe in one another and

just stick together
like we've always done.

We support one another
no matter what, and we know that

this race comes down
to what we do together.

To have a buddy that you can run
the world with, man,

that's what matters, dude.

Ryan, are we gonna win
The Amazing Racetoday?

Yeah, we're gonna win the race.

We're absolutely gonna win
The Amazing Racetoday.

The final three teams
are now leaving Portugal,

the oldest established country
in Europe, and will fly west

on The Amazing Racecharter
to their final destination--

Los Angeles, California.

Good morning, Amazing Racers.

Welcome aboard

Amazing RaceFlight One
to your final destination,

Los Angeles, California.

La-La Land!

Please make sure that you have

stowed your backpacks
in the overhead lockers or

in the seats in front of you.
In the unlikely event

of an emergency, read your clue.

It's in the little thing
in the front there.

-I'm just kidding, guys, it's...
-Ah!

It's the emergency thing.

Travel safe, everybody.

- Thank you.
- One last race
to the finish line.

See you in L.A.

Route Info.

-What?
-"Welcome to Los Angeles."

"On the top three
and four surrounding towers,

you will find
locked clue boxes."

"Each containing a single clue."

"Spot the combination
going up and down."

The Westin Bonaventure Hotel

has four towers.

Teams need to unlock
their next clue

on top of one of them.

And there's only one clue
per tower.

But first, they have to
figure out that the combination

is going up and down
on an elevator.

- Okay, come on.
- Come on, come on, come on.

- Penn, stay together.
- Okay.

- Let's take
the stairway down.
- Let's go.

Yeah.

Heads up.

On either end. This way.

-Let's just look out
off another edge.
-Yeah.

- Combination going
up and down.
- Keep going.

We thought going up and down

meant somewhere
up and down the stairs.

"32nd floor to get
to the rooftop of the towers."

On either end. This way.

"Roof access"?

Let's just go look.

We know
that there's three towers

to where there's clue boxes.

Dusty, come on.

We're the first one
to actually get to a clue box.

It was locked, though.

"Spot the combination
going up and down."

- It's a tricky one, man.
- It's got to be,

theoretically,
out here somewhere, I think.

I mean, what do you think?

-You got any better ideas?
-No.

"Spot the combination
going up and down."

Let's read slow.

"Spot the combination
going up and down."

My idea was to work our way up

to the clue box to see if there
was anything on the clue box

or around the clue box.

-Here we go.
-Is it locked?

"Spot the combination
going up and down."

Well, what's on that door?
Did we try that door?

Let's try.

Once we found the door,

we knew we were headed to
the right way toward the tower.

And then the next step
was just to look

for a code
to unlock the clue box.

"Spot the combination
going up and down."

Hey, it says, "Spot the
combination going up and down."

-Zero, six, one, five?
-Yup, zero, six one, five.

Try zero, six, one, five.

Yes. Yes.

Okay, we spotted the...
Okay, okay, okay.

"Drive yourself to the El Pueblo

"de Los Angeles
Historical Monument

at the end of the Olvera Street
and search for your next clue."

-Okay, first one.
-That's huge, babe, okay?

Hey, what about elevator?
The elevator.

Look at the elevator.

Elevators go up and down.

Oh, yeah. Yup.

-There it is.
-Oh. Two, one, nine, three.

Good thinking, baby.

"Look for the numbers
going up and down."

-That's awesome. Let's go.
-Let's go.

Maybe we go down and look a bit.

-Where do you want
to go down to?
-Let's get in an elevator.

It says "going up or down."

Don't you want
to get the map first

since we're stuck
at a red light?

I want to google the
directions. Then I want to look.

Okay, let's get
some directions.

Yup. We're going
to Figueroa Street.

Is it possible to use your cell
phone to look up directions?

Yeah, this guy,
this guy right here.

Can I ask your help?

We have to drive ourselves
to El Pueblo

de Los Angeles
Historical Monument.

-Thank you very much.
-Okay. Thank you.

-I really appreciate it.
-Thank you.

Look at everything, dude.

Look at everything right here.

First one out, babe.
Okay, baby, we're doing it.

-Thank you so much, sir.
-Thank you so much.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Okay, take care.

Good directions, baby.
Good directions.

Good stop.

I'm so...

proud of you, baby.

"Spot the combination
going up and down."

I saw Dusty and Ryan
for a second,

but I thought they had the clue
when they were looking out

-into the vast expanse.
-No.

They were...
didn't know what to do.

-No, at least...
-Did you look over all these?

-Like, all the way over?
-Yeah.

You didn't see nothing?

Up or down. Up or down.

We were frantic, running around,

and then you realize

the two locked boxes are open

and gone, and so then

the pressure really turns on.

Let's just look off one more

and then maybe try inside again,
I don't...

-All right, whatever you think.
-I... I don't know.

I have no idea, dude.

What have we done here?

All right, let's just regroup.
We're all good.

Up and down what?

We were frantic, running around.

And I was thinking
up and down the street.

I mean,
the pressure cooker was on.

I mean, it's crazy.

Let's go.

I bet when we figure this out,

we're gonna b*at our heads
against the walls.

Oh, I know. It's gonna be
something super easy.

- I know. I know, man.
- It always is.

I see our clues. I'm looking
right at our clues. Let's go.

Let's go.

Here comes Raquel and Cayla.

There. It's right there.

Come on, we got to go.
They're coming.

-Route Info.
-Another one.

Papier-mâché piñatas
are a fun-filled way

of ensuring
that everyone has a...

smashing good time at a party.

Teams must find three parts
of a clue

by smashing their way through
these colorful party favors.

One team member must
put on a blindfold

while their partner directs
them to break open a taco,

a tiny donkey,
and an all-paper star.

They each contain a piece
of their next clue.

You're going to be blindfolded.

-Okay.
-Okay.

-I'll break. Yeah.
-Do you want to break?

"Take a stick and a mask.

Then choose
a piñata-smashing section."

-Oh, you got a...
you got a smasher?
-Here.

Okay, babe.

Step one step to your left.

And hit it. Hit it.

All-paper star.

Okay, go straight.
Now to the left.

To the left, to the left.

Okay, directly ahead, bang.

Oh, this is so much fun.

- Anything?
- No. Hit straight ahead.

Okay, that's it. Okay,
now you have to pick it up.

- Where is it?
- Well, there's a head hanging.

- No clue.
- No clue. Okay.

Am I hitting it?

- Yeah, you're hitting it.
- Just keep going.

-There?
-Okay, perfect. Okay, hold on.

Stay there.

One, two, three.

And stop. Yup.

Yeah, you just bashed it off,
babe, so now you got to walk.

Walk straight. Four, five.

Step to your right.

And that's it.
There should be a clue in there.

Babe, I don't feel any clues.

I don't see it either, babe.
You're doing great.

This is real bad.

Just don't know how
everybody else figured it out

but we can't.

That's what's confusing me.

Dude, it's right here, dude.

One, oh, two, five.
Let's try that.

-I'm just thinking.
-No, that's it. Good job.

"Drive yourselves
to the El Pueblo

de Los Angeles
Historical Monument."

Dude, navigation's
what catches us back up

and something physical. We did
it once, we'll do it again.

Where the hell is the taco?

Oh. Turn to your left!

The piñata
that you're touching--

the-the taco's behind that one.

-Behind, like, this?
-Yup. Yup.

You're touching it now.
Yes, that's it. Hit it.

Yes, that one.

Great job.

Great job, babe.

Oh, there it is. There it is.

It's at your foot.

Now, that's our first one, babe.

- Sorry.
- We need three?

Yes.

Put it in your pocket.
Put it in your pocket.

Great job. It's almost out.

I just wanted to get
all the clues out there.

Like, I didn't want her
to hold on to a clue

in one hand
and then be trying to whack

with the other because

it actually looked
really, really difficult.

You know, the least crap

you have to kind of hold while
you're breaking this piñata

-is probably the better--
that was the better choice.
-Yeah.

I can see it. Okay.

That one's done.
That one's done. Okay.

Just focusing in on the clue.

Uh, it kept saying
"up or down, up or down."

We... I just didn't realize,
or Ryan didn't realize...

I don't think we knew
exactly what to do.

And so, it was just taking
a breath and looking, and then

it was right in my face,
as I knew it would be.

I'm gonna stay positive
as I can. I know that.

We're not out of it yet, dude.

Sorry, honey.

We're looking for...
We got the taco.

Tiny... All-paper star.

-It's okay, babe.
Just tell me where to go.
-I know, honey.

I'm looking. It's...
Looking for an all-paper star.

They all look like
all-paper stars to me.

At some point, we're just
gonna knock them all down.

- Cayla?
- Yeah.

-Is anyone else still here?
-Yes.

Kim and Penn are still here.

I just have
to find the right last one,

and I thought I had it,
but nothing came out of it.

So just one sec.
There's a lot.

-I'm just trying
to find the last one.
-Okay.

Okay, babe,
put your stick out straight.

Feel right in front of you.

Okay, yeah, so it's a little
bit to your right. Try this one.

Okay, lift directly up
above you.

Softly. Yup, right there.

Yes, that's it, Raquel.
It's almost out.

Great job. Yes, keep hitting,
keep hitting.

That's it. Okay, go. Okay.

Okay, now walk straight.
I'm gonna direct you

-how to pick them all up, okay?
-Okay.

Yup, keep going.
You're doing great.

You're doing great.
Oh, that's it!

The clue's down on the ground.
Okay, ben-bend down. That's it.

Put it in your pocket.
Okay, we got two, babe.

-We need one more.
-Good.

Walk straight.

Now get down on all fours.

It's to your left. To your left.

Yes. Hold on.
No. Straight, straight.

Yes, yes, that's it.
Okay, you got it. Got all three.

-Okay.
-Can I take this off?

Can I come to you? Yes.

Yes, just take it off.

-I don't smell good.
-Okay, okay.

-I'll put this away.
-I'm doing one.
I'm doing one, okay?

-One is Sunset Boulevard.
-Okay.

-"6465 Sunset Boulevard.
Hollywood."
-Okay.

"Go through the gates of S.I.R.
Park in the marked parking."

Let's go. Come on.

Ow.

- Yeah, I know.
- You're hitting yourself.

We're looking for a tiny donkey,

but we smashed
the only tiny donkey I saw.

So just take a breather, babe.

- Raquel and Cayla left.
- Okay, talk to me.

-Let's get this done and win.
-I know. Honey, I'm looking.

Right now, I'm on my stomach

looking for a tiny
flipping donkey.

You know, what sucks
for me is, I can tell

when my wife is
having trouble, and

I couldn't come over and hug her
and say, "It's gonna be okay.

Let's have fun.
It's The Amazing Race,"

'cause I was in a crazy

wrestling mask,
acting like a complete

drunken lunatic,
roaming around and smashing

piñatas.

-No. Is there any candy
or anything in the body...?
-No candy.

Oh, that... it hit the ground.

Anything in there? Shake it.

-No?
-No.

At this point, honey, I'm, like,
we're just smashing everything.

I had no idea what was going on.

-I couldn't see...
-I was just smashing things.

They all are ... tiny donkeys.

I feel like
I smashed a lot more piñatas

-than Raquel did.
-Yes. Okay, turn to the left.

I just hit something.
Can this be it?

No. That-That's it.
No, don't touch that.

Uh, oh. Oh, on the other side
of that ice cream.

-Oh, I couldn't see it. Okay.
-What do I do?

Okay, on the other side
of what you're touching.

I'm sorry. Don't touch that.

Yeah, right there.
Oh, my God, I couldn't see it.

-Where?
-Right there.

Uh, okay, pick that up. Stop.
It's right by your right foot.

Okay, right, uh...
To your right.

Got it.

I'm so sorry, honey.
I couldn't see it.

It was between this... Look.
Take this off.

I'm so sorry. Look.
It was between these things,

and I had to stand up there,
and I couldn't see it.

-Okay, it's fine.
-Is this all my doing?

Yes.

I did a lot of smashing.

"6465 Sunset Boulevard,
Hollywood."

Come on, let's go.

- Okay.
- We're in a strong second place.

- Yup.
- We need somebody to get lost.

And that someone is Cayla
and Raquel. Not likely, man.

They're running
a perfect leg so far.

We're not down that far, dude.

"Break open three piñatas
to reveal your next clue."

You tell me what to do.

-Yeah. All right,
I'll tell him what to do.
-I'll smash.

I wasn't going to try
to navigate anything

after what we had
just been through, and so,

I mean, I think we definitely
made the right decision.

Right above your head.

A little to the right, little to
the right, little to the right.

- There it is.
- Oh, boy.

All right, I don't think
there's one there. Hold on.

Donkey and a taco. Uh...

So we're looking
for 6465 Sunset Boulevard.

"Go through the gates of S.I.R.
and park in the marked parking."

-S.I.R.?
-Yes. Oh.

-Do you see it? Right here.
-Yup, right here.

Turn right, turn right,
turn right. Okay.

"Become a Foley artist."

It's time for teams
to make some noise

by adding sound effects

to five of The Amazing Race's
most memorable moments.

Show that knight who's boss.

Oh!

My ox is broken!
This is bull ...!

Foley is a movie-making
technique

that began
more than a hundred years ago

and is still used today,

something teams will do
using these common items.

When the Foley artist says that
they're in sync with picture,

they'll get a clue.

- All right.
- Here's three.

Okay.
Oh, do you see three? Okay.

All right, we're coming in.

- Okay.
- Okay.

-Hi!
-Hi. How are you?

We had never heard
of Foley before.

We did not know
what the heck Foley was.

Apparently, Foley is

when you're recreating
the sounds.

"When you enter the room, your
Foley artist will demonstrate

the technique with the
five clips you will be using."

And I'm looking for timing
to the action.

-I want it in sync.
-Okay.

I'll give you my demonstration.

So what we had to do was

recreate the noises
of these infamous

Amazing Race scenes,
you know, over the past


to recreate these noises

with, like,
at-home objects almost.

Our strategy-- we work best with

just, like,
divvying up the roles.

Just feel it out
and what makes noise.

-If we have to do it again,
we'll do it again.
-Okay.

So the very first one was

of the running of the bulls.

You just had
to really focus on every time

the players hit each other,

you were smacking the
beach balls at the right time.

The second one was
a needle in the haystack,

and you had different tinsel

that made the same kind of noise
of what

shuffling
through hay would be like.

- I remember that watermelon one.
- Yeah.

Of course the famous

watermelon slingshot.

Like, I was like, "Oh, God."

I felt like
I relived that for her.

The next scene was

Germany, where they were, like,
pie-ing each other in the face.

And lastly, was
"my ox is broken" scene.

My ox is broken!

We had to recreate,
like, the sloshing in the mud.

We got to make, like,
a sloshing noise

when he, like,
does his hand like that.

And then he also has a whip,

-and it makes a noise
with a whip, with that, okay?
-Okay.

Do you want to do another
demonstration and watch him?

Yeah, I need to do one more
demonstration of this.

- There it is.
- What'd I do?

-Did I... did I find it?
-Yeah, you're good.

Straight ahead.

Ah.

It was tough, man,
but it was really cool. I mean,

I had no idea
that this was a real job

that happened in Hollywood,
and it's the most tedious job

that, like, I just
never thought existed.

Okay, okay, we'll do it again.
We'll do it again.

I think we're getting better.

-Okay.
-Let's keep doing it.

Yeah, "artist entrance."
Here we go.

Look-- Raquel and Cayla's car.

Go, go, go, go.

-"Amazing Race's..."
-"Sweeten the sounds
of five Amazing Race's

most iconic moments
from the past 32 seasons."

-You're pretty good at this.
-Well, I think

-it's both of us, honey.
-Okay, yeah.

- Let's do it. Hey, guys.
- Hey, what's up?

This is pretty cool.

I am actually

fascinated by Foley.

I follow some TikTok accounts.

There's two... there's two hits.

Boom. And it hitting the ground.
See what I mean?

I would say half of my work
is-is editing.

We-we work in video, and I spend
a lot of my time lip-synching.

Like, if you came by my house
at any point in time,

you would just see me
doing this.

I'm gonna do these.
A fish, fish, fish,

and then the flap, flap.

You're just unrolling it
when they're unrolling it.

And then I do the whack.

-Okay.
-I do this. I do the...

Oh. What happens
if you break the props?

So I do it with this one, right?

-No. Okay. Okay.
-Hit, like,

louder. He does
louder sounds, you know?

There's just
so many moving pieces.

So, really, it was focusing
on getting so secure

and the different

noises, what your hands
were supposed to make,

but when you were supposed
to make the noises,

and when you were supposed
to highlight that.

-Make 'em sync up
to the clip itself.
-Mm-hmm.

You want me to do that one?
I'll do this one.

-No, I'm fine doing that one.
-I can do that one.

No, I'm fine doing it.
I just need to see it again.

Okay. Don't get frustrated.
It's okay.

I haven't seen...
I haven't heard Penn and Kim.

-Have you heard Penn and Kim?
-Door's shut.

Oh.

- We're gonna try it.
- We're gonna try it.

That was pretty decent, right?

Sorry, that's incorrect.

-Really?
-Okay, here's... You talked.

You said,
"Get ready for the next one."

-I did talk. I talked.
-And we're not supposed to talk.

We're gonna try it,
one more time,

-and then we'll ask them
to redo it.
-Yup.

- This one?
- Yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah, that one.

-Right here.
-That's it.
Keep blasting that one.

- Right here.
- Oh, oh, all right, hey.

-Yeah?
-It's down...
It dropped out, so...

Straight ahead of you,
two paces.

Okay.

I mean, it's... I think it's
just the... a little bit more

with timing of,
like, when the, like,

when the pie's hitting, or when
the person's, like, smacking.

Like, it needs
to be exactly the right...

Like, then it's smacks,
you know?

Sorry. That's incorrect.

Okay, let's have another demo.

-I'd love to fine-tune it.
-Yeah.

Straight ahead. Straight ahead.

- This?
- Yeah, go at that.

Yeah, that's it. Keep going.

We're coming back.

- Just keep blasting.
- Keep blasting.

All right, all right, all right.
Drop the stick.

-What?
-Drop the stick.

All right, uh, down below you,
uh, two, uh, step forward

to your right.
All right, now you got 'em all.

This is a pain in my ass.

I swear if this is the reason
why we lose...

Seen all these clips
a thousand times. Okay.

All right, nice and loud
and clear, no talking.

Oh, my God.

It's actually a little
more tough than it looks.

There's, like,
a-a rubbery sound when

they're stretching out
the catapult.

-So...
-Oh, my God!

Yeah! Yeah!

Yeah!

Your job is so hard!

"Drive yourselves
to the home of the Galaxy.

"Once there, search the ground
for the tennis stadium

to find your next clue."

-Okay, let's go. Come on.
-Okay.

Oh, my God,
I'm so glad that's over.

-Yes! Yes!
-We did it?

-Yay! Thank you so much.
-Thank you so much.

- We appreciate it.
- You're very welcome.

Don't say "finish line."
We need more time.

I know. We need more time.

"Drive yourselves to the home
of the LA Galaxy."

-Ooh!
-Let's go!

Can we look up directions
on your phone?

-Are they still there?
-Oh, my gosh.

Okay. Thank you so much.
Appreciate it.

-Thank you so much.
-Thank you.

-Hey. Stay here.
-Hey, friend.

-Yeah, we need some directions.
-To the LA Galaxy.

This is our car.
This is our car.

-I...
-Okay.

- You just gave it to 'em, right?
- Uh... Yeah.

-So, uh, when you go out here...
-Uh-huh.

...make a left
and then make a left on Sunset,

and then the 101 South
will be on your right.

- We got this.
- We know how to get there.

We just saw Raquel and Cayla.

I thought we were goners.

Should have just said,
"Don't help 'em."

But it's hard.
We love Mom and Dad.

- We got this, baby.
- Yup.

I mean, we are literally
tied for first right now

with Kim and Penn.

All right, we made up time.
We made up time.

- So you're saying
there's a chance.
- We made up time.

Come on, Lordy.
Give me some green lights.

Here we go.

"Become a Foley artist."

Oh, this is gonna be insane.

-You get the... Yup.
-I'll do the watermelon,

-the cups,
and then you bounce over.
-Yup.

-Good? Cool.
-All right.

Let's rage.

Starting to sweat a little.

I'm starting to see us

at that finish line.

Come on, Lordy,
give me some green lights.

God, this is crazy--
this traffic here.

This traffic blows.

Oh, this is so stressful.

I am going to have a full-on

crying meltdown.

At some point, it's in the hands

of The Amazing Racegods,

but I'm confident
that we're in second place,

and whatever the next challenge
is, I think

it's gonna determine
who wins this race.

- Oh, here, look. Here's signs.
- Okay.

"Make a right turn
into Gate D entrance."

Okay, just park right there.

- There's the clue.
- Go.

"Solve the riddles on the wall
by using the correct images

"of people, places, and things
you encountered

on the race
around the world."

These walls
are covered with clues

from the amazing experiences
that teams encountered

during their Amazing Race.

They must now use
their jet-lagged brain

to solve this giant memory quiz.

Once they've aced the test,

they must run
through the tunnel,

where they'll be greeted
with a big surprise.

-Over here.
-Yeah, come on.

-Yeah, I know.
-We did it together, babe.

Oh!

Okay. Okay.

"When you've answered
all the riddles on the wall,

ask the umpire
for a check." Okay.

When we got to the challenge,
I was like, "Oh, we got this."

Oh. Okay, look.

"It fell out as well."

Just grab one and see
if you see it on here.

"Something you had to eat."
"You took this to Number Ten."

We had a series
of different sayings,

and we had to match them
all up with all these

massive...

tennis rackets
with pictures on them,

and all coordinating

to different things
that we have seen

along the race.

No, no, here.
I'm gonna take the ones,

and I'm gonna lay them flat.

-Can I do that?
-Just grab one and do it.

"You painted this." Okay.

I knew what the sardine can

that we just had painted

the door of looked like.

Which one looks the easiest?

-This-this one.
-Okay. I like those colors.

"You join... you joined..."

"He joined you
throughout the leg."

I'm questioning.

Too far. Too far.

He joined us. He did.

"It went this far up."

"900 feet elevation." No.

We have... Oh.
"8,000 feet." Yup.

- Here we go.
- Yeah!

You can feel
the air thinning, no?

"You were greeted at
the Pit Stop with these words."

I knew at the end
of Thessaloniki,

um, the gentleman that was in
a hut-- he gave us a saying.

We have two ears
and one tongue so that

we'd listen more and speak less.

-Uh, yes.
-I like that.

"You took this to Number Ten."

- Clue box.
- Nice.

"When you solve the riddles
correctly,

the umpire will reveal the name
of your next destination."

We're ready for this.

-Tennis center, right?
-This way.

This is tennis. All right.

Let's do it. Let's go.

We couldn't see
Raquel and Cayla,

but we knew they were there.
Because we were behind,

we were praying for a really
tough memory challenge.

So not all these are right.

-Here. Let's put these out,
honey.
-Yup.

My strategy was
to pull everything out,

and then we noticed
each question has

many different options.

"This mode of transportation

took you the rest of the way."

The rest of the way.

Good job.

We've prepared for this.

Which one do you want to do?
Do you want to do the mermaid?

Okay. Yeah, let's do it.

I have been

- drawing in my notebook.
- Yup.

I've been taking tedious notes
this entire time.

Raise your hand. Oh,
there it is. There it is.

Yeah, okay, stop, stop.
It's at your foot.

And I just had a feeling

that it was gonna come down
to the images

that we saw along the race.

I'm a terrible artist,

but after every leg
I drew pictures

of the things we encountered.

Just anything very specific,

I was keeping track of.

I drew him. Handsome man.

Uh, yes, please.

Oh, wow.

- It'll wash the cheese down.
- Salud.

Are these both ours?

Uh, yes,
I'm guessing yes.

It was the transition
from the watermelon exploding

to the cups,
because it was, like, so fast.

There was literally no time,

and so I think
once we figured that out,

Ryan was ready
to go immediately after that.

Yeah! Let's get out of here.

Yeah, baby!

Drive yourself to
the home of the Galaxy.

Ooh, it's a soccer field.

Pull out all the Napoleons.

Yeah, I will.

You checked in here.

We knew the place
in Lugano where we ended

was that beautiful pink building
on the water. I knew that.

Oh, something you had to eat.

Oh, this is the spelling.

Souvlaki.

A-K-I.

Yes.

Yay! All right.

Right here.

Yes, right.

So, listen, we're close.

Forward, no, go forward.

Straight, straight.

To your right, to your right.

Ready to check.
We need a check.

Yeah, that's not right. It was
col... they were colorful.

What'd you take to
Number Ten-- which boat?

I don't see Magellan.
I don't think it was.

-There's Vasco da Gama.
-It was Setúbal.

It was Setúbal. We can try it.

Hey, baby, you look awesome!

Think I'm doing it wrong.

Can we give it a try?

Yes.

-Judges? Judge...
-Judges?

-Fault? Okay.
-Fault. Okay.

So... babe.

You don't remember
the name of the explorer, right?

You found this under a rock?

Hey, is this the coin, babe?

Is this the coin?

Or does this look
more like the coin?

Oh...

Uh, w-wait, what is that?
What is that coin?

Oh, is that what yours
looked like?

- Well...
- It was more...

Mm.

Let's try this one.

Okay. Judge?

Okay.

We knew, pretty confidently,

most of them right away.

The biggest trick was the coin,

because that was
a low point in my life.

But there's, like, that
sound effect when you screw up

something on The Amazing Race.

They go like...

Maybe it's this one.

No, let's just check it. Okay.
Check.

-Fault.
-Okay.

Fault.

We're not sure about the coin,

and we were not sure
about the candy.

-Check.
-Fault.

Damn it.

I think the candy was rainbow.

Let's change this up, honey.
Let's change this up.

Maybe it was Vasco da Gama.

-I don't think it was. Here.
-Give it a go.

- Okay, let's...
- Judge?
- Fault.

Okay, let's...
Fault.
Okay.

Uh, what was this?

I think he had a wider hat.

- Oh, yes, that's right.
- That's right.

After you hear
"fault, fault, fault,"

we just started
questioning things

that we actually
felt confident about.

I know Napoleon goes here,
but then you're like,

"Was he wearing
the really big hat

or the hat
that's a little tinier?"

Napoleon.

Monte Rastello?

Thank you.

-Okay.
-Okay.

-Check.
-Fault.

- Okay. Check.
- Fault.

Is it this guy?
Is it this guy?

Wait a minute, this...
Let's change...

-We want to change this one out?
-Yeah.

Ours had a roof.

- Can we check it now?
- It might have

-been red and white candy.
-Okay. Ready?

- Okay.
- Fault.

- Yeah, that's not right.
- It was col...

They were colorful.

- Try that one, babe.
- All right, Judge.

- Fault? Okay.
- Fault? Okay.

-Try every coin.
-Check.

- Fault.
- No.

If I hear "fault" one more time,
I'm gonna whack something.

-Okay, judges?
-Judges?

Fault.

Keep all these cars here, 'cause
we're going crazy over the cars.

Should I try this candy?

I'm trying to remember
if it was just red and white.

Babe, was this the guy
with the tea?

No, he was the guy at leg...

-our last leg.
-Okay.

God, there's so many coins.

We had this one before,
but let's try it again.

Once we replaced the boat,
I felt confident

that we could just
kind of put the coins up

and switch those out
one at a time.

-Okay. Judge?
-Fault.

-Check.
-Fault.

I bet that one's right.
Let's try it again.

Judge?

Game, set, match.
Through the tunnel.

Yes! Come on.

Oh, my God.

- Did they just get it?
- I think so.

Holy crap. Go.

This is how we lose.

This is how we lose
The Amazing Race.

Oh, my God, honey.

Are we about to win
The Amazing Race?

We won the race.

-Oh, my God.
-Kim and Penn.

Seven countries, 17 cities,

and having traveled
across the globe,

I am pleased to tell you

that you are the official
winners of The Amazing Race.

-Congratulations.
-Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

It was neck and neck
all the way through.

You guys were behind,
you leapt ahead.

Can you tell us how you're
feeling in this moment

-right now?
-I-I'm waiting for you

to tell me this is not true.
I'm waiting...

-That there's a penalty.
-That there's a penalty.

Now, your kids are watching you.

What-what... what is going
through their minds right now?

As you think of them at home,
what-what are they thinking,

as they look at Mom and Dad?

I hope our children
are proud of us.

I hope that they see that...

I hope they see
that studying pays off.

'Cause you know
what won this race?

It wasn't being strong,

it wasn't being fast,
it was studying.

I hope what our kids saw
is that it didn't matter

where we were gonna finish.

We were gonna work
as hard as we could

and that the finish
doesn't really matter.

Even though we finished first,
which is kind of awesome.

So I hope our kids learn that

- good things can happen
outside of your comfort zone.
- Right.

I deal with anxiety,
but just seeing that, like,

pushing past,
going out of your comfort zone,

like, good things can happen.

Put the red up?

Sure. You can do that.

-Game, set, match.
Through the tunnel.
-Thank God.

Oh, we... that coin up.
Oh, my God.

And the candy.

Raquel and Cayla,
you are amazing racers.

Yeah.

Unfortunately, today,
you have finished second.

- It's okay.
- Just talk to us about

the experience of coming back,

having restarted the race,
what it's been like for you,

the things you're gonna
take away from this race.

Coming back after 19 months,

I mean, I feel like, honestly,
we finished stronger

than what I ever imagined.

I mean, we made it
to the final three

with the two toughest,
best teams.

I am so proud of us
on this journey.

I'm so proud of us.

This year has been, you know,

being in the airline industry,
incredibly hard for us.

I mean, we didn't have
a job for a year, and then...

you know, coming back
and just being this female team

that was as much
of a powerhouse as we were.

The last five legs

we came in second, second,
second, first, first...

-and then second today.
-Second.

-I mean, you know,
it's pretty, it's pretty b*mb.
-Yeah.

At the end of the day, like,

I have this amazing experience,
and...

- Yeah. Don't cry.
- I'm gonna cry now.

No, I can, like, we can say
we did this, and, like...

I'm gonna cry.

- No, stop.
- Stop it. Go away...

-It's such a great thing to see
-Don't look at me.

a-a friendship like this.

What do you mean to each other?
Like, tell us.

I-I love this girl to death.

-She is one of
the kindest souls...
-So are you.

-...I've ever met, honestly.
-Stop.

Stop. You're making me cry.

I just, like, she's just, like,

-a genuinely, like,
really good person. Um...
-So are you.

- You're the best.
- Not a lot of people,
like, make you want to

be better, and she does.

And so, just to be able
to do this with her

and say that we came this far,
like, it's awesome.

Pride and dignity,
pride and dignity.

-Here you go.
-Thanks.

Dusty and I, we wanted to win.

We know we have what it takes.

We think we ran good enough
to win, most of the time.

Today, we didn't.

And, uh, and that hurts,
you know, that stings.

And that won't, uh,
won't go away quickly.

Let's rage!

The money would
have been amazing, but, uh,

I wanted to be an Amazing Race
champion more than anything.

Let's go to work.

But what I gained

is way more than that.

-Oh, Dusty.
-What?

-Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!
-Oh...

I got to spend
a month with my best friend

running the world
and doing crazy things

that I never dreamt of
in my entire life

that I'd get
the opportunity to do.

Pain'll wear off, uh,

but the memories
will last forever,

-no question asked.
-For sure.

Game, set, match.

-Through the tunnel.
-Got it.

Sorry to keep y'all waiting.

Who won? Who won? Well done.

- Good job, you guys.
- Oh, yeah, guys.

Good job.
Congratulations.
Ryan and Dusty,

-great competitors.
-Heck yeah.

-You brought it this season.
-Something like that.

-You brought it. When you
came back, you meant business.
-We did.

-Love you guys.
-Well-deserved third place.

Absolutely.

You got stuck
on the damn elevator today.

-Man.
-Um...

You probably never want
to go in an elevator,

or see an elevator or hear
anybody say the word "elevator."

Stairs for us, Phil.

It doesn't matter, man.

This was an amazing experience
with my best buddy.

-I mean, we just tore
the world down, brother.
-Absolutely. Good time.

It didn't go our way today,
but hats off, guys.

You guys, you're officially
the oldest couple

to ever win The Amazing Race.

Congratulations.

Can't express what, uh,
you mean to me, brother.

You gave this crazy dude
an opportunity

to come try
to make some magic with you.

Uh, you know, the rabbit
didn't pop out of the hat,

but I think
we shook up the world. Uh...

I think we gave
a voice to people

-that have been
wrongfully convicted.
-Right.

A dude that was locked up, man.

A dude that I stuck by
no matter what. Um...

You're my best friend
in the world man, and, uh,

I-I feel we made up
for ten years of lost time.

Very few people, like,
even said "hi"

or acknowledged my existence
once I got arrested.

You always believed in me,

but just knowing
that's in your character,

it makes me want
to be a better person.

You make me want to be
a better person.

I love you, brother, man.

This was amazing, brother.

-Good times.
-I love you, dude.

A little scary to go back out
in the world for some people.

You guys proved that
we could do it safely.

I know the fans are
incredibly grateful that

you were able to give them
The Amazing Raceone more time.

If there's ever a time to show

the people who are
photographers on this show,

I would do it right now.
Like, they've been, like...

They've kept their distance.

They've got masks on.
They've worked their asses off.

-The whole cast and crew.
-They've come back
the entire time.

-The crew. Yeah.
-They've kept us
incredibly safe.

- There they are, everybody.
- Wave, everybody, wave.

How about
you come and congratulate, uh,

our final three teams?

The Amazing Race
is a pressure cooker,

and you ride the highest
of highs and lowest of lows.

And, uh, I-I mean,
I learned more about myself

in a month than I have
in 37 years of living.

I'm not gonna go out getting
what I thought I wanted,

but I think I got a lot more

than I could have
ever asked for.

We got to the end,
we didn't win it all,

but we got
to see the world together,

and, uh, man, oh, man,
did we see it.

Bring it in!

-I said it from day one.
-I'm so proud of you.

Only person I could've
done this with. Seriously.

We did it together, right?

We crushed that.

I could not have done it
with anyone else.

Proud of you.

Proud of you. Proud of you.

Love you guys.

Dusty!

Get in here.

Good to see you again, brother.

Something happened to Kim
during this race where she faced

her anxiety in ways that
she's never faced it before,

and I hope that you get
to watch this and see, like,

how strong and how inspirational
you will be to other people

who-who suffer through that.

Because with all of that,

you just won The Amazing Race,
and you were the hero.

You were the hero.

You took the notes.

You were the hero.

-This is your win.
-You're welcome.

-No, honey. No.
-And cut. And credits.
